    Development of HVOF thermally sprayed molybdenum coatings for sheet metal applications

    Departement of Mechanical Engineering.PESIT

    ABSTRACT

    The shift from conventional manufacturing to green manufacturing is quickly picking up pace in

    India. This project was undertaken on the similar lines of green manufacturing to suggest a

    substitute (molybdenum coatings) to popular but hazardous phosphate coatings. For years HVOF

    thermal spray coatings has been the most preferred choice in the field of wear and corrosion

    protection. The present study focuses on relatively new molybdenum coatings to improve the

    formability characteristics of sheet metal. Sheet metal finds a lot of application in the field of

    automotive, defense, aeronautical, and here its formability characteristics has the major role to

    play. But unfortunately this aspect has not been investigated at length by the researchers in the

    past. Hence, the present work focuses on developing Molybdenum coatings on low carbon steel

    by HVOF technique and to characterize its formability by means of Erichsen cupping test.

    Microstructural studies have been carried out. Further Vickers hardness test, three point bending

    test and salt spray corrosion tests on the specimens of uncoated mild steel, phosphate coated mild

    steel and molybdenum coated mild steel sheet with the sheet dimensions being

    (200mmx200mmx3mm). Microstructural studies indicate that the coatings developed by thermal

    spray HVOF process is dense and uniform in thickness. Molybdenum coatings possessed highest

    hardness, excellent formability in terms of cupping height depth and corrosion resistance when

    compared with phosphated and uncoated low carbon mild steel.
